Hi,
I've read the standard Linux laptop pages and found the trail to
XFCom-neomagic X server and such. But everything I've tried so far is
not sufficient for this machine. It is a Sony PCG-XG18 running a
NeoMagic MagicMedia 256XL+. Most of the pre-figured-out stuff I've seen
stops at M

Ha.
If Perl is so hard, then why the HELL do so many people know it?
Don't restrict yourself because you've 'heard' something. Give it a
try.
Go for the job, if it's one you think you'd like. Have them help you
learn the thing. Give it a go!

Oreilly "learning perl" is great. I do not have ANY programming experience whatsoever
and have found perl to be quite easy. I am a System Administrator for an isp and it
has saved my life more than a few times.. and it is easy easy easy.

It took me a *week* to get the syntax down and programming in Perl.
Now, I've got a decent amount of experience programming, so YMMV.
Anyway, perl is an absolutely great language. I kind o

hi,
I recommend the learning perl book. Perl was the first language I learned, and
I didn't think it was to hard at all. I don't push the camel book like others, as
it seems to be printed man pages...

The books to get are "Learning Perl" and "Programming Perl" from

I am not a programmer and have never taken a programming class, but I've
had lots of jobs where I've had to learn to troubleshoot perl scripts. I
found tons of tutorials on the web and found a guestbook in my html book,

Check out the O'reilly series on perl. I have found that it does a

might try http://perl.oreilly.com
You might take a look at some perl documentation on the web and see if
it's something you want to learn before you dive in :o)
Hi all,
Sorry that I'm sure this has been asked before, but...
I am almost finished w/ a first semester Java class, and have kicked around
some ASP and JavaScript. I've never done anything w/ C or C++ yet, wont have
that in school 'til the fall. But I have been offered a job where they'll want
